Caretta Workspace Offers Elegant Office Furnishings That Reduce Clutter and Carbon Footprint

Online, June 1, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Columbus, OH - Caretta Workspace, a new venture based in Columbus, Ohio, has announced a line of office furnishings that use an innovative design to create a professional environment while hiding unsightly cables and connectors. They provide an office solution that is composed of high quality, solid hardwood furniture, not the cheap looking laminate, glass and tubing desks found at the local office store, yet it elegantly tames the cable problem.

The furniture uses beautiful hardwoods and is produced according to strict eco-friendly guidelines with LEED Green initiatives. Caretta embraces environmental sustainability from production to installation, with strict manufacturing processes that minimize scrap material. All wood is sourced from a Midwestern U.S. supplier that uses Best Management Practices for sustainable forestry. Caretta uses eco-friendly materials such as low VOC formaldehyde-free finishes, powder-coated metal, RoHS compliant lead-free solder, and high efficiency LED lighting.

With every desk sold, Caretta Workspace makes a donation to the "Save the Sea Turtle Fund" at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. Caretta Workspace gets its name from the Caretta Caretta, Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Where the turtle locks itself in its shell for protection and can regulate its body temperature through many environments, the Caretta Desk does the same with locking up your laptop computer and controlling its temperature with a quiet cooling fan.

"The Caretta Workplace line of desks, tables and accessories is able to hide wires and cables in a manner not seen in typical office furniture" explained Larry Tracewell, CEO of the new company. Caretta Workspace blends design and technology to create a work environment that's personal, beautiful and unlike anything you'll find from any other furniture manufacturer. Caretta Workplace uses premium select hardwoods with unique grain patterns, precision fit joinery, sturdy construction and soft, smooth hand-sanded finishes. The desk includes the ability to hide and securely lock your laptop computer connected to its docking station in a temperature controlled compartment.

Many different standard configurations and functional accessories are available to meet the most challenging needs of any office filled with computer and other electronic equipment. If you don't see exactly what you are looking for in the wide offering of standard products, Caretta workspaces can be easily customized to fit any most any need.

Tracewell said he founded Caretta Workspace to create office furniture for a customer who wanted a beautiful work environment, "but was simply unable to integrate a computer and associated equipment into their office furniture without creating a tangled mess of cables.

By making the array of computer wires and cables disappear, Caretta Workspace contemporary desks, tables and accessories transform the elegance of solid hardwood furnishings into an uncluttered productivity tool tailored to small and home offices where 'wire management' is especially critical to maintaining a professional environment."

The Caretta website allows a customer or interior designer to configure the furniture for his or her individual workspace:
- Choice of a wide variety of desks, conference tables, filing, shelving and functional accessories such as a 19" rack mount system and a sloped console
- Choice of solid cherry with a natural, or dark finish, or custom finished wood
- Options such as left or right returns, multiple drawer configurations, and LED task lighting
The site allows the customer to order his or her own furniture with a simple six-step configurator. Orders are fulfilled in a few days and shipped directly to the customer. Caretta products were engineered for ease of assembly and setup with two sizes of standard fasteners.
